Allows for monitoring logs according to industry standards within ESM but has a total capacity capped at 12 TB, limiting real-time data retention periods

The first limitation is with the ArcSight Data Storage Manager (ADSM). ArcSight's total capacity is currently capped at 12 TB. This becomes an issue if a customer needs a longer real-time data retention period, such as exceeding 90 days or reaching a year or even ten months. Increasing the disk space beyond 12 TB is not currently possible. So, increasing the storage capacity is one area for improvement. Additionally, the real-time data retention is limited due to the 12 TB restriction. Depending on the Events Per Second (EPS) you receive, you might only be able to retain data for seven to ten days. Overall, the 12 TB limit is the main issue we face in terms of maximizing real-time data storage. Moreover, there are a few improvements I would like to see in future releases. My main suggestion for ArcSight is to simplify the deployment process. Currently, the installation process is quite complex. There are various components involved, including transformations, multiple installations, and containerization for various components. Ideally, I'd recommend that ArcSight allow the entire installation, including the ESM and database, to be completed within a single unified setup process for a streamlined experience. Additionally, having readily available and well-organized documentation for the step-by-step installation process would be incredibly helpful. I would also like to see better support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager (ESM) works perfectly. It's a stable and scalable product."

"Usability is the most valuable feature. The accessibility is quite good."

"Stable solution with good customer service support."

"The reports that we are from getting from ArcSight are very valuable. The reporting in ArcSight is good. Our regulators ask us for the reports on a regular basis, and we have been able to provide the required data. Its overall functionality in terms of log analysis and the speed at which it does that is also valuable. It is very quick. Whatever alerts we had configured were extremely fast. We immediately get alerts when there is unauthorized access or unknown access, or even positive access. This is where we found the difference between ArcSight and other solutions."

"ESM has valuable features for event prediction and security analysis."

"Support is very good."

"The stability of ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager is good."

"This process has helped to improve our organization because we have centralized the intra-group security equipment logs."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager pros

"It is effective because it has threat intelligence from across the world and constantly checks and updates for new threats."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."

"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."

"The solution is stable."

"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."

"The solution is very cost-effective compared to Splunk and LogRhythm."

"The main thing is the value proposition. It is one of the most sophisticated yet affordable solutions that I've come across. It is also one of the easiest-to-manage yet comprehensive solutions for a SOC analyst. Its customizations are really good, and it has a lot of integrations. It is multi-tenant and very fast to onboard. Its stability is 100%. We've never had an outage with it. It doesn't require extensive hardware resources. Its level of support is also very good. They have a very responsive technical team."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform notifies only genuine alerts. It offers plenty of options that are suitable for MSPs."

More Seceon Open Threat Management Platform pros

Cons

"The UI interface is somewhat complex and needs to be simplified."

"The initial setup is very complex. We had to architect a deployment which allowed us to incorporate an ever growing number of customers into our hosted instance of ArcSight."

"The security area has room for improvement."

"The product should include a lot more predefined scenarios so the adopted company will have knowledge and a broader skill set in security and network."

"The way that scaling is set up isn't very cost-effective."

"ArcSight ESM is not easy to use and it should be integrated with other tools that have infrastructure capabilities."

"The solution could be more stable."

"Administration of ArcSight is not an easy job. The admin needs to be well experienced in it to identify the root cause and fix it."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager cons

"The management console could use some enhancements."

"The product could be improved by including sandboxing capabilities in the next release."

"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."

"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."

"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."

"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."

"For small to medium-sized customers, Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is good. However, for large enterprises, it is not as effective."

More Seceon Open Threat Management Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ArcSight can be a little bit expensive because of the area that we work in and the cost. Licensing is mostly on a yearly basis, not monthly."

"The pricing is great compared to others."

"The licensing cost is affordable if you get an enterprise license. The licensing is based on EPS, so you can probably provide a package of license for multiple ESMs with their correlational end fees. It is cost-effective."

"Thanks to Micro Focus's licensing model, as an MSSP, we are able to see a complete return on our investment almost immediately."

"Pricing is good, I'd rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with ten being low price. It's better than Splunk and IBM QRadar because their pricing is based on EPS."

"Aggregation can help a lot in pushing down licensing costs."

"It is best to be an institutional buyer and directly contact the sales team, as they can provide over-the-top discounts for bulk orders."

"The pricing model is expensive compared to open-source alternatives."

More OpenText Enterprise Security Manager pricing and cost advice

"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."

"The price is quite reasonable."

"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."

"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."

"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."

"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
